I don't think that that is possible in a design with subsheets (why is hierarchical so hard to spell, I need a better name for it). If you only have nets and symbols, the full connectivity is contained in just one file and could just as well be listed there. But if you have a subsheet, say a dc-dc converter with a source symbol that says pin label 1 Vin 2 GND 3 Vout then that could refer to anything from a resistor+zener, 7805 to some complex nonisolated switched power supply. So you can only get the full connectivity by scanning the full stack, since the user might deside to change to another subsheet. That is the beuty and complexity of subsheets. The outside world only needs to know that this is a dc/dc conv., and I can swap the implementation depending on spec. Regards, /Karl Hammar
